Thanks a lot Gerry.

You are right. I was dead close. The wonderful thing about a small venture
like De Melkweg in Amsterdam is dat you can walk right up to the stage and
come within touching distance of the artists. If you show up an hour before
the show starts, that is.

Just to compare,
here<http://www.avondel.com/Concert/120519-Staff-Benda-Bilili/23070451_n5rD6c#!i=1856654337&k=jjWcDHT&lb=1&s=A>is
a shot where I moved backwards a few meters in order to cover a little
more stage with the 50mm.

Best regards,

Erik
